HOWARD RICHARD, a prominent trial lawyer in Delaware County, passed away on October 29, 2011 at the age of 90. He grew up in Perth Amboy, NJ. The middle son of LOUIS and ANNE (née RICHARD) WEISBERG, he attended UCLA and then Rutgers Law School. A member of the “Greatest Generation”, he fought in World War II and then returned home to Philadelphia where he began the practice of law. He founded his own law practice in Delaware County, and built it into one of the largest and most successful firms in the County. His legal career spanned 5 decades. Widely regarded as a topnotch trial lawyer, he won many cases on behalf of “the little guy”. He also developed a specialty in public sector labor law, representing police and firefighters across Pennsylvania in wage and benefit negotiations. His greatest source of pride came from his success in addressing what he saw as the imbalance of bargaining power from which our first responders suffered. He conceived, drafted and shepherded through the Pennsylvania legislature a law known as Act 111, or the Binding Arbitration Act, which gave equal power to police and firefighters in collective bargaining through the use of neutral arbitrators. The law is still in effect today. He was married for 66 years to MAE RICHARD, a lyricist in the NYC theater community, who passed away in 2009. He is survived by his two loving children, LARRY and BARBARA RICHARD. He led a life full of joy and accomplishment, filled with loving relationships including his brother, NORMAN RICHARD his late brother, MORTY RICHARD; his sister-in-law, MIDGE GELBER; his daughter-in-law, D'ARCY LYNESS RICHARD; his son-in-law, the late LAMAR PUGH; and many other family, friends and colleagues. With his many contributions to better society, it is his love, humor, and generosity that will be sorely missed.

ESTHER RODA, a retired owner of the woman's clothing store died October 18, 2011 at Aria Hospital - Torresdale Division after a stroke. She was 78 and lived in Delaire Landing in Northeast Philadelphia. MRS. RODA was born and grew up in Cuba. She married MANUEL RODA and had 3 children. While bringing up her family, MRS. RODA worked as a Hebrew teacher in the Hebrew day school and was a clothing buyer for her family's small department store at the same time. After Fidel Castro came to power, ESTHER and MANUEL saw how the country was changing and decided to leave. However, diplomatic relations with the US had already been cut and therefore, they could not emigrate to the US. They chose Israel. On the night before the Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur, they closed the business as if the business was closed for the Jewish holiday and with 1 suitcase apiece, the RODA family left the country. Because of governmental restrictions on money in Cuba at that time, they left with no money at all. Upon arriving in Israel and getting settled by the Israeli government, MRS. RODA immediately took a job with the Wingate Institute in Netanya where she worked as a secretary as her husband worked in the Israeli Diamond industry. However, after living in Israel for 6 1/2 years, the RODA's still had limited savings and decided that they would make plans to emigrate to the US. Their plans, however, got delayed with the advent of the Six Day War. But after the Six Day War was over, the RODA's left for the US. The family settled in Oxford Circle in 1967 and immediately ESTHER found a job as a secretary in the Physical Therapy Department at the University of Pennsylvania to help provide for her family. However, after working for 5 or 6 years, MRS. RODA wanted to open her own clothing store and with a small loan from a friend opened L & L Fashions on Willits Road in the Northeast. A few years later, she closed L & L and bought Claire's Smart Fashions on the 3100 block of Kensington Avenue in Kensington. They later bought a second store and opened Roda's Fashions 2 stores away. She retired shortly after an auto accident in the early 1990's. Once she retired, she became active in her local chapter of Hadassah and was always a member of a synagogue. When she lived in Oxford Circle, she was a member of Beth Emeth Cong., then Oxford Circle Jewish Community Center. When they moved to Delaire Landing, the joined Temple Menorah-Keneseth Chai and lastly, Ohev Shalom of Bucks County. After joining Ohev Shalom, she joined their senior group, Hazzak, and was an active participant in their activities. MRS. RODA also spoke 4 languages: Spanish, English, Yiddish, and Hebrew. She was married for almost 62 years, to the love of her life, MANUEL, She was the mother of LUBA KELLMAN (DAN), RACHEL GOLDSTEIN (CARL), and ISAAC RODA.

We still “talk” to you and miss you very much. Our love continues.

That’s why we offer pre-arrangements, so that we can guide you through those decisions and you can think clearly about what you want, and |your family can be assured your wishes have been met. Call today for a pre-arrangement guide or consultation.
